My daughter just got done with her AP Euro Class for the year, and she LOVED IT!
Next year she takes AP US History. She said she doesn't think it will be as interesting since our country isn't as old as Europe. I told her there are MANY interesting things to learn abour our country.

I've always found US History to be more exciting and interesting than European History. We're such a robust, rambunctious, ornery group of people! Find me any other nation that has gone from non-existent to THE world power in just two centuries.
Granted, teachers have a tendency to leach all of the juice out of American history (or any history, nine times out of ten) by making it all about dry, dusty dates and names. What makes history interesting is the people, the personalities, the STORIES. I have a book at home that tells the unknown stories of American history, which I will give you the name of as soon as I get home. If she can't find anything in there to fascinate her and make her want to learn more, she's just not trying.
Some of my favorites are the Great Molasses Flood in Boston, the election of Rutherford B. Hayes, and the fistfight that broke out in the House of Representatives in 1857. It always amuses me to hear people talk about how "uncivil" partisan politics has become, since I know how many times in the past US politicians have attacked each other physically, as opposed to with just words.

I learned U.S. History at San Diego State University from a prof from the UK.
He always called us "The Colonials".
